When your dog comes home limping after a trail run above the Dry Canyon, or your cat is suddenly hiding and refusing food, you need to know where to go — and fast. For pet owners in Redmond, Pawtown Veterinary Care is the emergency and urgent care option during business hours. We are based in Bend, a short drive from Redmond, and we offer same-day appointments for urgent situations that cannot wait for a scheduled visit.
Pawtown does not provide overnight or 24-hour emergency services. For a true middle-of-the-night crisis, you will need a 24-hour emergency hospital. But for anything that arises Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., our team is equipped to see your pet the same day — without the wait times and overhead of a large emergency facility.
Signs Your Redmond Pet Needs Urgent Veterinary Attention
Knowing when something requires urgent care versus a wait-and-see approach is one of the most useful things a pet owner can learn. The following signs warrant a same-day call to Pawtown — do not wait for a scheduled appointment if your pet is showing any of these:
The Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine provides a useful overview of emergency signs in pets. When in doubt, call us — we would always rather you check in than wait too long.
Urgent and Emergency Care at Pawtown — What We Handle
Pawtown offers urgent and emergency care for dogs and cats during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Same-day appointments are available for situations that cannot wait, and our in-house diagnostics — bloodwork, urinalysis, and imaging — mean we can assess and begin treating your pet without sending you elsewhere for results.
For Redmond pet owners, the drive to our Bend clinic is worth it when your pet needs prompt, thorough attention rather than a rushed visit at a high-volume emergency hospital. We are a full-service practice, not a triage-only facility — which means the veterinarian who sees your pet in an urgent situation is the same one who can follow up on their care afterward.
Why Redmond Pet Owners Trust Pawtown for Urgent Care
Central Oregon has veterinary options, but not all of them can offer the combination of same-day availability, in-house diagnostics, and ongoing care that Pawtown provides. We are a small, owner-operated practice where Dr. Erin Miller and Dr. Lauren Stayer are present and involved — not a high-volume facility where your pet is handed off between staff members you have never met.
For Redmond pet owners, that means driving to Bend rather than the closest option. We understand that is an ask, and we take it seriously. When you arrive at Pawtown, your pet is seen by the same veterinarians who will know their history, follow up on their recovery, and be there for their next wellness visit. That continuity matters — especially in an urgent situation where context about your pet’s baseline health can change the course of treatment. Financing is available through CareCredit and Scratch Pay for pet owners who need flexibility on costs.

If your pet needs urgent or emergency care during business hours, call us before you make the drive.
